Contacts - Relationship and BDay

[Tao77]

Like Samsung contacts and it's integration with Samsung Calendar which is even better when you store them both on your phone and back up to Samsung Cloud. It is really awesome then!!

Two questions and suggestions related to "my profile" in Samsung contacts

1. I cannot add my birthyear, can this be added

2. I cannot add my profile in the relationship section of other contacts. Do I need to create a profile and contact for me, hoping not as one of me is enough lol

3. If you enter the year of a contacts birth, can Samsung calendar display their age. Apple has something similar and I like it because it reminds me of special birthdays, like 16, 40, 50 and 65 (retirement)

4. I enter in the dates when my contacts have "Passed" so I can remember them. Could this be a standard option

Contacts allows me to enter my D.O.B under my profile. 

To add your relationship to a contact, click on edit & more, you can enter your relationship here.

You could enter the year of someone's passing, in Contact Notes.

NOTE: My Contacts are synced with my Google account.. you may not have the same options if you are synced with Phone, SIM or Samsung account.

Hi Tao77,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and great questions it's clear you make full use of the Samsung ecosystem, especially Contacts and Calendar!

Date of Birth in My Profile. You can enter your full date of birth (including the year) under My Profile in the Samsung Contacts app. Just tap on your profile, select Edit, and you’ll see the D.O.B. field.

Adding Your Relationship to Other Contacts. You can add your relationship to a contact by tapping Edit > More > Relationship. While you can't directly select your own profile as the relation, you can still manually label the relationship (e.g., “Mother,” “Friend,” etc.). Hopefully, future updates might allow selecting “Me” or linking profiles more dynamically.

Remembering Special Dates. While Samsung Calendar doesn’t currently show a contact’s age on their birthday, you can still include these details in the Notes section of a contact especially for marking significant life events like birthdays or dates of passing. It's a great way to honor and remember loved ones. 

Please note that your available options may differ depending on where your contacts are saved Samsung account, Google account, SIM, or Phone. Using Samsung Cloud or Google typically gives you the most flexibility.

Thank you RedDogRabbit for your thoughtful suggestions and follow-up!
